The Slutcracker is a scene-by-scene retelling of The Nutcracker ballet which itself was adapted from the children’s story The Nutcracker and the Mouse King by E.T.A Hoffmann.

However, The Slutcracker is decidedly NOT for children. Indeed, The Slutcracker is a night for grown-ups, no matter how “immature” it might seem.

The story follows Clara, a twenty-something woman who, with the help of eccentric and willful Auntie Drosselmeyer and her very special gift of a magic “toy,” journeys from a suburban, hum-drum lifestyle and relationship with fiancé Fritz, to a land of sexual fantasy, adventure, and fulfillment accompanied by the Slutcracker Prince.

The show incorporates a variety of dance styles including ballet, jazz, flamenco, belly dance, hoop, hip-hop, and pole all set to the strains of famously sexually repressed Tchaikovsky.

The Slutcracker strives to be inclusive both of our performers and crew and of our audiences. While they certainly can’t make everyone happy, they do welcome all…

"OH! YOU PRETTY THINGS" is an explosive cocktail of live David Bowie covers and Burlesque!

Join the girls for a loving, electric blue, total blam blam tribute to The Thin White Duke. The show includes inspired burlesque, gogo dancing, and aerial performances by some of Boston's most beautiful dancers.

THE HUNDREDS SHOW Lincoln Arts Project is excited to announce their annual "Hundreds" show, featuring work by some of the most talented low brow and underground artists in Boston. All of the artwork is priced at either $100, $200, or $300. December 5 - January 18 RECEPTION: FRIDAY, DECEMBER 6, 7-10 PMGallery Hours: Thursday - Saturday 12-6PM
